When I was 12 I went steady with Paul Minardi.
He gave me his blue St. Christopher’s medal, which is what boys gave their girlfriends back then, back before St. Christopher was de-sainted.
I don’t remember how long we went steady, only that he broke up with me and shattered my 12-year-old heart.
It was the Worst. Breakup. Ever.
Until the next one, that is.

I’m usually somewhat sluggish about flipping the calendar.
I don’t know why. Perhaps someone with a bunch of letters after his name would say it has something to do with not wanting to let go.
However, it was with exuberance that my February pages hit the recycle bin and heralded in the lamb’s version of March.
I have three calendars in my office; two are flipped and one is a rip-away.
It was with great fanfare that I tore off February.
My theory:
This winter has been interminably long.

Each legislative session essentially has two distinct periods, with the first dedicated to the House and Senate setting their respective agendas and the second, much shorter one seeing where both sides can find common ground.
It is too soon to say what ultimately will cross the finish line, but this week is when most of those decisions will be made. It promises to be a busy time.
As we look for consensus, there is hope in the House that we can do something this year to help both our youth and our senior citizens.
